US 5064 Repeal of the Stammp Act 1766 F header gutter block 10 MNH 2016

Description: Detailed Description It is a stock image only. If you want to see the picture of the actual stamp, please check with me before you bid or place the order. This stamp commemorates the 250th anniversary of the repeal of the Stamp Act, British legislation that American colonists condemned as taxation without representation. Parliament passed the Stamp Act on March 22, 1765. Every American colonist would feel the sting of the act, since it required payment of a tax on a wide array of paper materials, such as newspapers, legal documents, mortgages, and contracts. A stamp embossed on these papers indicated payment of the tax. Public sentiment was so strongly opposed to the act that enforcement was all but impossible. A boycott of British goods in many colonial cities also began to have an economic impact. Merchants on both sides of the Atlantic added their voices to the call for repeal of the act. In response to massive resistance, Britain repealed the Stamp Act on March 18, 1766. Illustrated by noted historical painter Greg Harlin, the stamp depicts a crowd gathered around a liberty tree in 1766 to celebrate the repeal. The selvage area displays a proof print of a one-penny revenue stamp and includes a famous slogan from the era: Taxation without representation is tyranny. Art director Antonio Alcal designed the stamp and the pane.
